APPREClATIvE MISS TERRY,

Her Knack of Making Friends-Reward
 of Dudish Young Gentleman.
 Ellen Terry has knack of making friends off the stage as well as on it, and not long since she made one at least who will not for get her.
 Her carriage was standing in front of a New York florists and knot of people had gathered to see her leave the store and cross the pavement before driving off. Presently Miss Terry was in the doorway, bunch of flaming chrysanthemums in her hand
 The shoppers and young men about town stood their ground for an instant to take in the effect of the fluffy light hair, tho big gray eyes and the trim figure in dark tailor gown. Then they fell back hastily, half ashamed of the curiosity, for people pay more than an average degree of deference to the charming English actress on the street
 The movement was so sudden that the tiniest of girl peddlers, little creature not over or years old, with handful of bright colored whips was thrown down. She had been standing just on the curb, and but for the quick movement of a rather dudish young man-of the Bob Hilliard rather than the Berry Wall type, however-who split very neat glove in the lunge to pick her up, would have rolled under the heels of Miss Terry's spirited team.
 The child gave one gulp, half of fright and half of surprise, and then looked round for the bunch of whips, imperturbably com posed once more, as the manner of the gamin is. Miss Terry dropped change enough to have bought up the whole stock into the lit tle but dirty hand and then held out her own with a quick movement of cordiality to the dudish young man, leaving her chrysan- themums in his. She did not say Q word and she was gone in an in stant, for Miss Terry hates crowds, but her glance was expressive enough to stand for O volume, and the young man pulled off the torn glove-it was the one she had touched-and slowed it away in pocket book, handling it very respectfully as Q treasured memento, staring after the carriage like one in a dream He looked down at the flowers she had left him almost incredu. lously, passed his hand over them and then across his forehead to reassure himself he was not living in fairyland, and added some good sized silver bits, by way of getting down tc an everyday basis again, to tho bonanza with which the lite peddler was making off
 Ellen Terry had reduced a slave to bond age, and for lockers on they liked the young man better than they usually liked dudes. New York Cor. Washington Post.

The Transformation Was Complete.

I was invited to 0 party few evenings ago. The host is the father of two children and the husband of lady who knows how to be entertaining The young gentleman who sat at the piano had been engaged for the occasion and rejoiced in the prefix of pro- lessor. There was no brutality in his treat ment of the keys. He manipulated them as if he liked them, as if he knew their resources and just how to exhaust them to the best ad- vantage. He was worth looking at as he faced the instrument. When the music sub- sided he seemed to die away in perfect sym pathy with it, when it broke into tempest and torrent his energies were reused in pro- portion. He played upon himself just to the extent that he used the piano. A character nanifestly effeminate under ordinary cir cuu1stances sprang into astonishing v1r1l1ty and vigor when tho score called for life and action and softened into rare dreaminess as the theme melted or became subdued.
 Thoroughly at home where he sat, in an unfortunate moment the host asked him to give an amateur a chance. He left the piano stool, taking seat on the other side of the parlor. The transformation was complete. He turned in his toes, looked sheepish and embarrassed and seemed to have such q faint idea of what his hands were made for that he literally did not know what to do with them. In due time the amateur performance came to an end, as even amateur performances must, and with sigh of great relief the pro- lessor resumed his stool. The fish was back in the water. Nobody saw his toes and no body cared anything about them. The one thing that above all others he knew was just what to do with his hands. There was gen. eral rejoicing when under the magic of his fingers the piano breathed freely once more but whether it was because the professor had begun again or the amateur had stopped is one of those problems invested with so mucl delicacy that doubt is preferable to solution

EVENTS MOVE RAPIDLY
SAYS MIR. PAT CALHOUN, SPEAk-
ING OF CENTRAL.

He stops on His Way Back from New
York and Has a Conference With the
Savannah DirectOrs-NO Combine Yet
Made-A Possibility that the stock
w III be Listed.
Mr.. Pat Calhoun, one of the Centrars
new directors, arrived in the city yester-
day morning from New York. He is on
his way to bis home at Atlanta, he stated.
During the day he had conferences with
probably all of the Savannah directors.
| What they talked about no one knows ex-
cept themselves.
1t is to be presumed that Mr.. Calhoun
gave the directors good deal OF intorma-
ton about how things are gong in New
( York, and there is no doubt but that they
told him about the reports in circulation
here. The last one to get any railroad
I information from him last night was a
MORNING News reporter. who saw him
at tue Screvel House.
Ii there is any scheme, deal or move on
loot 1t may be taken for granted that Mr..
Calhoun would know just little bit more
about it than any other man in savannah.
In view of the repeated runors about
the Richmond and DaDYille sco0ping
Central or com biuing with it, the young
director was asked that question which
has been put 80 many times that it is get
ting chestnutty: lis there any combina-
ton about to be made between the Gen.
trail and the Richmond Terminal"
None at all, so far as l KNOW" was
the reply. The Richmond Terminal,
which owns the Richmond and Danville,
never did own ana does not now own a
single share OF Central stock. There are
gentlemen interested in the Richmond
Terminal who are interested in the Gen.
trail, but there is no more probability that
the Terminal will combine with the Cen
trail than that it will combine with the
Louisville and Nashville. Events move
rapidly, however, and there is no telling
what com bin ations may be made. What
seems impossible to-day may be practic-
aOle tomorrow. Upon this though you
can rely, the men who have control of the
road now are interested in the Central as
the Central because they think it is a
good investment"
"Do you think the stock will be listed
on the New York Exchangew
II do not pretend to say that it will.
But even suppose it should be that is not
going to affect the road. 1t will employ
Just as many man, build as many cars,
maui as much freight and make all the

make it do now. When stock Is listed

always known and increases the stocks

TO rate it as security. and a purchaser

around for a purchaser then for a buyer

ITO the public's confidence in the pres

BASE BALL NEWS.
The Southern League Season to
Open May I and Close on Oct. 1.

Ihe southern League season to
Open May 1 and Close on Oct. 1.
Mr.. X. S. rupper, Charleston and Sa-
vannah's representative at TIE Birming-
ham meeting, speaks very hopefully OF
the prospects for base ball next season.
1t was the general opinion of the Birming-
ham meeting that the league can be
made a success with six clubs, but If two
more good cities can be secured the num-
Der VIII. OF course, be increased TO eight.
The filing of the vacancies has been left
to President Morrow, who is authorized
to admit Birmingham and Chattanooga
if they deposit the guarantee by Feb. L.
There was no disposition on tue part Of
the meeting, however, to concede the de-
mand OF Chattanooga for the 30 per cent.
option.
The official bond of President Morrow
was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000, ow-
ing to the reduction in the amount OF the
guarantee fund.
The clubs which deposited the 81, 200
guarantee, have been instructed to draw
on the President for one-half the amount.
The Schedule Committee consists of
Charleston. Nashville, Memphis, Savan-
nah and New Orleans. The time and
place OF their meeting has not vet been
decided.
The Southern League pionship
season will ,begin on May l and end on
Oct. l. A four-game series is favored by
all OF the clubs, as this is considered
cheaper than the three-game series.

The announcement OF the committees
dld not create much surprise. Mr..
Inomas' eappOintm ent to the Chairman
ship or the Committee on Streets and
Lanes gives general satisfaction. The
makeup of the other committees is
equally satisfactory.
OPPOSED TO LONG CAUCUsEs.
Alter the comm tees were an
nouuced, Alderman Duncan moved an
amendment to rule Of the
rules of Council which provides that
the Council shall meet on " ednesday in
every alternate week at O'Clock p. m.
The amendment provided that the Coun-
Gil snail meet in the Council chamber at

Alderman Duncan. in explaining his
resolution, said that ne is opposed to eau

merely to ratify what was done In eau
Gus.
SITTING WITH CLOSED DOORS.
1t has been the custom of Council to sit
in the Mayors office with closed doors
until the entire business before it has been
discussed. The caucuses very often last
uhtll ~ o'clock and not inirequently until
lU;du, and sometimes until IL, before the
regular session is convened, and in few
minutes time it dispOses of matters that
nave already been acled upon IN caucus.
AT the election OF city officers two weeks
ago tue applications were considered in
caucus and the slate was made up so
that when 1T came 10 a formal ballot the
No,e,in every instance having been agreed
upon, was unanimous.
IN FAVOR OF THE CAUCUS.
Alderman Thomas. without stating any
particular reason, opposed the resolution
ana moved the adoption of the rules gov
erning the last Council.
Alderman Nichols moved that the reso-
luton be tabled and that its con sideratiOn
be made special order for the first regu-
lar meeting of the Council. The motion
was carried and the resolution Will come

Ri Rev. Bishop Becker was asked yes
terday if the report was eorEect that he
had given Pho Mono College 20 Father

piled that the College had not been given,
but that he hiss sold it TO the Society,
whose headquarters IN this province are

the sale was made four months ago but
was kept very quiet, because there was a
debt against the institution, and the Bish-

THE TICKET SPECTATORS.
How They Worked il for the Robson
* Crane Engagement.

~ &tdHC bDnB dSCIutut'
The person who could not answer to a
number under nifty when the checks were
called for at the opening OF the box sheet
for the Robson & Crane engagement yes
terday morning, stood a poor chance OF
securing q good seat. Notwithstanding
the rain and wind OF the night before the
spectators who had taken their stand on
the pavement during the early part of the
night stuck to their posts, and their num-
Der was gradually increased by others
dropping In as the night wore on.
When Davis Bros. opened their store at I
O'clock there were at least forty persons
WAITING To receive checks, and the small
pieces Of cardboard were in great demand
until he sale OF tickets, commencing at
500 O'Clock. From then until noon there
was a crash and jam, and tickets were
sold as fast as money could change hands.
BY the time the rush WAS over nearly
every desirable seat in the house was
taken. The diagram was carefully ex-
amined by those who had neglected to
arrange for securing seats and were I'M
willing to pay the spectators prices in
hopes that thew might lind seat or two
which had been overlooked. The specu-
toys, who had weathered it the night be-
tore in order to secure a good check,
found plenty OF purchasers tor frst-class
seats at doub ole the prices.
a majority of the good seats FOR Thurs
day night were also taken, though there
was not the rush for them there was for
W Wednesday night seats. The sale OF
reserved seats for the matinee on Thurs
day afternoon will not begin until Thurs
day morning.
